red_starrise Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ok, so as I've said before, have a 4k apoc game on the 30th. I'm building a warhound & a caestus assault ram for the game. The caestus will carry my assault termies. Here's some pics of the warhound in progress. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4944.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4945.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4942.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4943.jpg I still have alot of work to do. I'm waiting on a vulcan mega bolter storm lord turret bits from ebay to do the right arm w/. Left arm is going to be a double barrel turbo laser. AFAIK there's only going to be a super heavy tank & maybe a reaver titan used but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hmm, that looks suspiciously like the paper-hammer Titan I threw out last week..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hmm, that looks suspiciously like the paper-hammer Titan I threw out last week..... It's the same set of plans I believe. Here's some pics of the head, hull & legs assembled & primed. Just waiting on bits for the arms. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4955.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4954.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4953.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4956.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ok, wow, not a whole lotta responses huh? Well, maybe these will get some better support http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4963.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4965.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4966.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4970.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/CIMG4972.jpg The hull, legs & head are pretty much done, arms will be started shortly.

Brother Kovash Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hey that looks great, very nice work. Which weapons are going to build for the Titan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nice work! Can't wait to see it finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks guys. Mikael, I'd say it's taken probably about 40 hrs of work to get to this point. Kovash, due to the fact that I have no idea what to expect at my shop for Apoc I'm probably going to give it a double barrel turbo laser destructor (also due to it being pretty easy to scratchbuild) & a vulcan mega bolter (also due to having easy access to a storm lord mega bolter lol).

Octavulg Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It's all pretty neat - except the windows. I don't know why, but they just don't seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplaincliff Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 what did you use for the pistons on the weapons, I was thinking the tubes from bic pens, but any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributis Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's good but the surfaces look a bit flat. Some detail using card could have broken up the big flat areas a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 It's good but the surfaces look a bit flat. Some detail using card could have broken up the big flat areas a bit... The only places where there aren't seperate armor plates of some fashion are the rear shoulder/vent things, knee sections & the toes. Other than that, the shoulders themselves have 3 separate armor plates each & predator sponsons as well as hatches behind the head. The thighs & ankles have segmented armor plates but the knee sections lack detail I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Good job mate, it's a good build, is it the same dimensions as a FW one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_starrise Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Good job mate, it's a good build, is it the same dimensions as a FW one? It's pretty close I think. Mind you I don't have a FW warhound to compare it to, but on FW's site they say a Lucius pattern (the one this mimics) is about 10.5" tall & this guy's right around there as well, so I think we're in that neighborhood.

Dutchwing Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Good effort mate, I don't really like the cardboardy look of it though.. Still think it's pretty awesome you actually managed to get it to look so close to an actual warhound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Wolf Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Good job! May I suggest that you darken the windows a bit, like Octavulg said, they seem a little off. Also a pot or two of 'instant talent', I mean Devlan Mud, should do wonders toning down the slighly cartoony look, especially on the blue. Lovely flames though, be careful so you don't cover them with wash, if you're going that route. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
